Chapter 46 New Treaties
"The emperor was killed!" The people next to him exclaimed as they watched the scene. The shouting also aggravated the chaos of the army. Some soldiers fell into the stream in panic, causing Albert, who was about to get up, to fall again...
At the same time, Antioch Egir and Basil met in the military camp where secret talks were held.
"Why did you make such an irrational request, Emperor Basil?" Hearing that Basil II was like this, he opened his mouth and wanted to defeat him with great effort (Cyprus Island is about to leave. Egil even saved the effort to call him uncle, and asked coldly.
"Because this is my territory, part of the empire!" Basil II said: "As early as when you Normans were still eating raw and drinking blood, the great Roman Empire conquered this island! Therefore, here-"
"——You. Have lost this place." Egil hummed lightly, then pointed to the West and said, "You said that it belongs to your family - if you call it, can it promise you? (Netizens who like this book also like:! I will give it to you if it answers!"
When Basil II heard Egil's almost rogue speech, his face turned red with anger and shouted at Egil: "You are simply shameless! Extremely shameless!"
"Maybe that's the case." Egil snorted coldly: "You have never been able to seize that territory from the Kingdom of Jerusalem, but now, why do you think you can seize it from me? Do you think I am better than the outdated Kingdom of Jerusalem?!"
"...It's not like that." Basil shook his head and said, "To be honest, I don't want to fight the Normans - if there is a war with the Normans in the future and I have to fight, then it must be the ones you Normans! I can guarantee it!"
"Maybe." Egil rubbed his temples, and when Basil's tone calmed down, Egil also took a step back: "I know that I have crossed the boundaries a little. I have indeed made a covenant with you Romans. I promised not to acquire territory on the Mediterranean coast - but you must know. The situation is different now - I must participate in the crusaders. Jerusalem must also be in the hands of Christians! I can tolerate you Romans to take back those, so-called, your own territory. But you don't want me to give it to you what I have obtained."
"That is, as long as I can obtain territory in Jerusalem before you, and before the Normans, the entire Syria and even Egypt, then you are willing to admit the empire's occupation in these areas?" Basil asked.
"Of course." Egil nodded.
"But if you have captured these territories, then you have to keep them yourself?" Basil continued.
"It's not like that." Egil shook his head: "In fact, my main energy is still in the north. I am not very interested in this hot and uncomfortable territory. Even if I acquire these areas, I may not be able to manage it well. Most of them will be enfeoffed and established some weaker and more powerful city-states as vassals."
"... So that's it." Basil nodded and thought: If this is the case, then the empire will have a chance. After all, the empire is closer to here and easier to exert influence - the premise is that the Norman liar really keeps his promise. After thinking about it, Basil continued to ask: "Then Cyprus--"
"—Cyprus is different." Egil said firmly: "I must gain a safe foothold in the Mediterranean. And I have invested too much money and materials in Cyprus. It is absolutely impossible for me to give up it now (netizens who like this book also like:."
Recalling the large number of fortresses, docks and shipyards, farms and orchards in Cyprus, Basil nodded: "Then that's it. It seems that I'm going to sign a new treaty with you."
"Of course, this will be good for us." Egil nodded and said that he snapped his fingers at the same time, allowing Sonia to bring a new treaty that had been prepared. Basil II was stunned when he saw this scene, and only then did he realize that Egil had already anticipated this. He couldn't help but feel a little angry. After another bargaining with Egil, when Egil looked at him with a smile and asked him to sign, Basil stared at Egil's eyes and said such words.
"Don't think you can deceive me, you, the cunning Norman, and don't regard the empire's kindness and peace-loving mentality as weak and deceptive. I promise that if you dare to break this treaty again - even if it's just a little bit, then I will not accommodate you again. I will send all the Roman army to flatten your pitiful, humble country! And cut off your head in person."
"Of course, I've always been sure of this." Egil was completely unmoved and still kept a smile on his face. He replied like this. This performance made Basil II a little discouraged - he originally wanted to see a panic or angry face, but Egil did not, which made him satisfied.
"I hope you can remember what you said." Basil said this, and then hurriedly signed his name...
At the same time, in that nameless valley, just as the vast majority of German soldiers relaxed, the 16,000 cavalry of Zhaohair and Baibls of the dune wings launched an assault. Under the cover of the archers, the Mamluk heavy cavalry and the Gulam heavy cavalry rushed down from the dunes on both sides with spears, shouting and killing sounds roaring, while more Arab cavalry waved scimitars and charged behind these heavy cavalry, or went around the north and south sides of the valley to block the road for the German soldiers to escape.
"Resist! We are the crusaders! We are invincible! Don't be afraid of those pagans!!!" At this moment, some German officers and nobles shouted like this, trying to reorganize their formation and resist the attacks of each other - but more people fled around in panic - even two wars, and they didn't even have the strength to escape!
"Even the emperor was killed! How did we win?!" Some soldiers defended this way, and some even put down their weapons and surrendered on their knees...
The Empire has never been sacred 46, and the Empire has never been sacred. The fifth sacred saint alliance Chapter 46 The new treaty has been updated!
